m Ferrite Touch Card Reader Installation Guide i
Introduction
This manual is an installation guide for the Model 610 Barium Ferrite (BaFe)
Touch Card Reader.
The Model 610 is a single-stage reader. It operates with a standard BaFe card
and produces a Wiegand output that is forwarded to its microcontroller for
processing. This reader operates with Picture PerfectTM and Secure Perfect®
products. For keypad operation, the Model 610 Reader works in conjunction with
the Model 651 keypad. The reader can be located up to 1,000 feet (304.8
meters) from the microcontroller using Belden 8725 cable.
The Model 610 Reader is supplied with a mounting bracket and gasket which
attaches to the surface of the wall with four screws. The reader is then secured to
the bracket with a flange and one screw. No gang box is required. An optional
mounting kit is available for solid wall mounting.
Product features
The UTC Fire & Security Model 610 BaFe Touch Card Reader offers:
• Slotless design protects the unit against tampering and harsh environments.
• Bicolor: LED changes from red to green indicating valid read.
Installation overview
The following is a recommended sequence of steps for installing and setting up
the reader.
1. Install the reader mounting. See “Mounting the reader” on page 2.
Connect the reader. See “Connecting the reader” on page 7.

Mounting the reader
The mounting requirements for the Model 610 BaFe Touch Card Reader are as
follows:
• No assembly is required. Remove mounting plate from back of reader. Attach
grounding screw to proper earth ground.
• The Model 610 can be mounted on any hollow wall with the mounting plate
that has been included in the assembly kit. It can also be mounted with a
user-supplied gang box, or on a solid wall with a back box. In either case, a
gasket is supplied with the reader to form a seal between the mounting plate
of the reader and the mounting surface. See applicable wiring diagram for
wiring instructions. Ensure reader is mounted within 1000 feet of the
microcontroller (with or without the amplifier card or door junction box), then
refer to the “Connecting the reader” section for detailed instructions.
There are three different methods for mounting the reader:
• Surface mount to interior/exterior single-gang electrical box:
Refer to Figure 1 on page 3 and Figure 2 on page 4.
1. Press plate with gasket against wall and secure with two (2) each #6-32
screws.
2. Refer to Figure 5 on page 8 through Figure 10 on page 18 for wiring
instructions.
3. Place Model 610 housing against mounting plate, top edge first, centering
housing on retaining tables. Secure housing to plate at bottom with one (1)
each #6-32 x 3/8-inch security screw provided or equivalent. Use security
wrench P/N 380486001.
• Surface mount to interior/exterior surface without single-gang electrical
box:
Refer to Figure 1 on page 3 and Figure 3 on page 5.
Secure the mounting plate with gasket to wall using appropriate fasteners.
1.
Use at least four of the six holes provided.
2. Refer to Figure 5 on page 8 through Figure 10 on page 18 for wiring
instructions.
3. Place the Model 610 housing against mounting plate, top edge first,
centering housing on retaining tabs. Secure housing to plate at bottom
with one (1) #6-32 x 1/4-inch security screw provided or equivalent. Use
security wrench P/N 380486001.

Connecting the reader
The following diodes (IN4004) are required:
1. Each door strike requires one diode if DC powered.
2. Each customer-supplied relay that activates the door strike requires one diode.
• One general-purpose 12V relay with 180-ohm (or greater) coil is required
for each door strike installed with customer-supplied power supply for the
door strike.
• When using a back box kit for solid-wall mounting, a hole saw is required
for cutting conduit access.
To wire this reader to a:
• Micro/5 2RP or 2SRP board, refer to Figure 5 on page 8.
Note: It is not necessary to use an amp card or door junction box with
the Micro/5.
• Micro/2 8RP or Micro/4 8RP board, refer to Figure 6 on page 10.
• Micro/4 or Micro/2 with an amp card, refer to Figure 7 on page 12.
• Micro/4 or Micro/2 with a door junction box, refer to Figure 8 on page 14 and
Figure 9 on page 16.
• Model 651 Keypad, refer to Figure 10 on page 18, then refer to the
appropriate figure listed above.

Notes (unless otherwise specified):
1. Shielded cable is recommended in electrically noisy environments.
2. If using shielded cable, connect all shields together at the microcontroller end.
Connect to ground stud in the lower left connect of Micro/2/4/5 cabinets using
14-AWG wire. No shield connections required at the reader.
3. If using a local power supply, do not connect +12V line from the
microcontroller to the reader. However, the negative side of the power supply
must be connected to the microcontroller (pin 2 on the reader port). Keep the
wiring from power supply to reader less than 50 feet.
4. Switching the external indicator drives to GND activates the indicator. High
impedance or +12V de-activates indicators. These drives may also be
connected to user supplied, external indicating circuitry.
5. Refer to the appropriate system manual to determine whether this connection
is required for door switch operation.
6. Blocking diodes may be 1N4002, 1N4003, or 1N4004 (installer supplied) for
the door strike assembly.
7. Protection diodes may be 1N4148 or similar, installer supplied, and located in
a secure area.
8. Fuse, power supply, door strike, and relay are provided by the installer.

These microcontrollers require the UTC Fire & Security Universal EPROM in
place of the standard EPROMs. Check to insure that the microcontroller contains
the appropriate EPROM.

Testing the reader
Follow the steps below to verify that the reader is working correctly.
1. Verify all communication lines with a multimeter by testing voltage levels at
the reader. Using ground as a reference, the power and data lines should
measure 7 to 12 volts, and the door DO should measure approximately 4.5
volts.
2. Check all cabling and electrical connections from the reader to the
microcontroller. If applicable, also check the cabling and electrical
connections between the optional amplifier card/door junction box and the
Model 651 Keypad to the microcontroller.
3. Verify that the microcontroller is properly configured. For the Micro/5, ensure
that the proper version of the firmware is installed. For the Micro/2 and
Micro/4, ensure that the correct EPROM is installed. Refer to your
microcontroller manual.
4. Verify proper reader operation.
• Select a test card with a known format and data. If the reader is used with
a Model 651 Keypad, assign a four-digit Personal Identification Number
(PIN).
• Place the card face down on the faceplate of the reader.
• If used with a Model 651 Keypad, when yellow PIN LED lights, enter PIN
badge code (+key, four-digit PIN, x key) after each beep tone.
• Observe the LED; green indicates a valid access.
• Open door.
5. Verify proper host system operation. Refer to your host system manual for
operation details.
6. Check the other installed readers.
7. Repeat this test procedure with each installed Model 610 Reader.

Functional specifications
Product Operation: Hall-effect devices within the reader detect patterns of
magnetic dots on a BaFe card placed face down, flush to metal read plate. The
UTC Fire & Security system database then converts these patterns to binary
numbers and verifies access authority.
Application: Intended for areas requiring a moderately high level of security for
controlled access. Can be combined with a Model 651 Keypad for PIN operation.
Compatibility: Interfaces to existing UTC Fire & Security systems using the
universal EPROM required for each Micro/2 or Micro/4 microcontroller and the
Micro/5 flash memory system. The Micro/2 and Micro/4 microcontrollers use the
Universal EPROM.
Reader Technology Type: BaFe input with Wiegand data format output.
Badge Format: Badge format 3201.
Mounting: Mounted flush to the wall using a metal backplate (supplied with
reader). See the section on hardware installation for detailed instructions. The
ground screw on the backing plate must be connected to a good earth ground
(not power supply ground). Maximum distance to microcontroller is 1000 feet.
When installed with a Model 651 Keypad, reader must be installed immediately
adjacent to keypad.
Appearance: Sturdy beige molded plastic cover.
Indicators: Red and green LED indicators are provided.
• Red LED: Normally on when power is applied to the reader.
• Green LED: Indicates a valid badge read.
